My Students

Our school serves students in grades PreK - 5th who are coming from different socioeconomic backgrounds, including children with physical and mental disabilities. Our students are incredible learners; eager to learn and create their own music. They enjoy every opportunity to perform for families, friends and community members.

Our students need costumes and stage decorations for the spring performance.

The requested items include stage decorations, character's costumes and accessories and they would be using during our annual spring chorus show.

My Project

Costumes help the audience understand the characters of the story better and help the performers get into their character's turn of mind. The costumes play an important role in setting the “feel” of a story. They send immediate messages and impressions to the audience and help performers establish a tone of the production and decisive roles in conveying the correct attitude of their characters.

If students have costumes and stage decorations for their play, it's easier to establish a comprehensible relationship between performers and the audience because stage design and costumes are the first feed of their eyes in a theater performance.

Stage decorations and dress-ups will establish time and place of the play, reflect the mood and atmosphere, clarify character's relationships, and underline the actions on stage.
